Dear Vaidyagrama Family!
Once again, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you from the bottom
of my heart! It’s my fourth time here and I'm coming here, like to
home already, and all of you are like second family for me!

Thank you for
saving me again. This time I came in the worse conditions than ever;
absolutely broken and lost, and I am leaving feeling myself another person even
better to say - "better version of myself " than I have ever
been.

I feel much calmer,
more balanced, energised, optimistic, stronger and right now that's all because
of your professionalism, support and love.

I am so grateful to
all of you and assure myself once again that Vaidyagrama is a really
special and unique place for healing physically, emotionally, spiritually! And
I am so much grateful that I came here once upon a time six or seven years
ago.

Every time coming
here is a great journey inside to myself, finding out something new again and
again.

On way travelling
all over India to get acquainted with the zeal spirituality, Big and open
hearts of Indian people, to love yourself, the country, purpose of life and
many other things; but just came here and find out perhaps even more in, as
that is a great place for knowing themselves in the first instance...

Vaidyagrama for
me is a school of life and it'll take pages to describe how many lessons and
knowledge I am getting here every time about my own body, mind, soul etc.,
how many interesting and spiritual people I meet, who give me so much of useful
information and good lessons.

Thank you for your
existence!

Thank you my
dear Dr.Harikrishnan !!

Thank you for your
patience, calmness, especially this time.

Thank you, all the
doctors and therapists, for such a good care of me, for your tolerance to my
changes in mood etc. Such an attentive behaviour! You all are so nice
and I love you so much. Dr.Mini ! I get acquainted with
you this time and for me you are a new member of this wonderful family - I want
to say that I have completely fallen in love with you!!

Warmest regards,
love, health and prosperity to all of you! Hope to see you soon, when I come in
the state like I am leaving now, just for detox and physical maintenance
purposes, and see you all again.

Your,

This is my third
visit here.

Thank you again to
the whole team. It has been a slow progress, but I am getting there due to the
vast knowledge that Dr. Harikrishnan has!

Vaidyagrama has
given me the belief that I can finally be healed physically, emotionally and
mentally.

Thank you to all my
doctors, therapists and the rest of the staff.

Today is my
birthday, my 40 years birthday of living on this planet, am very lucky to have
the chance to begin a new life after my panchakarma in Vaidyagrama.

In this place that
you have created, I finally took care of myself and it was possible for me to
see how I can look after my body and soul.

Thank you very much
for proving to me that the idea that I had in my mind that herbs can save lives
and self-healing is possible with herbs.

I will think about
all of you from my place and I will send all my good energy to you, so you
people can continue the difficult work that you are doing.

years of road journey.

Traditional
Ayurveda is still alive, am really thankful to you for sharing this wisdom with
us.

This was my second
time in Vaidyagrama, and it was wonderful!

Thank you
to Dr.Harikrishnan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Aruna, Dr.Princess and
Lakshmi, Mikita, Maya and all the cleaning staff for your big hearted care
and support, and for your seriousness. Being here recalibrates the body and
soul to a more healthy and sane way of being, and opens our eyes for a
different loving, peaceful way of living. It always heartens me, when at
cultural events, everyone sits together - doctors, patients, maintenance staff
and therapists. There is no division, but it is a community.

Vaidyagrama is
an example to India and to the whole world of how life together could
be, including the plant and animal world.

For us westerners,
it is also always a good lesson in humility, and in flexibility of mind, when
things don't need to run the way we think is right. It softens us up, and it
reminds us of our smallness. Also, there are always interesting other patients
do meet.

One small tip (the
other one I already said verbally)...

At the beginning,
after arriving it could be nice at least at the first treatment session, to get
introduced to the therapists, as they didn't even properly say hello.
So, to say Hello, I am so and so and will be here for you doing your treatment,
will be probably put many patients (like myself) at ease.

The same thing I
would suggest for the doctors who may replace the doctors. If you could
introduce yourself, and explain why you are suddenly interested if I had a
bowel movement, it would create a safer space. We feel sometimes quite
vulnerable as patients.

But that is just a
detail feedback and meant from a big friend and fan
of Vaidyagrama who will be back.

Big thank you to
you all!

As I rest in my
room on the last day of my 3 week of long treatment, my memory takes me back to
the first day when I arrived here in Vaidyagrama. Very enthusiastic,
positive and with strong faith to heal myself... and this feeling stays with me
today when I leave this place with the same intensity.

Every time I came
here my faith grows stronger in the healing power of this place. This is my
third time for treatment in past 9 years and every time I am led to believe
that this is the one of the most authentic Ayurveda places in the world that
offers a beautiful healing environment during our stay and teaches and trains
us to adopt a way of living in tune with nature.

There are no big
lectures given in this but the way everything is approached here very gently
and effortlessly, one is inspired to make desirable changes in one’s life on
the road to wellness.

During my stay
here, same time I felt this is a learning temple, at other times a healing
space with regular prayers and chants. At the gross level the
dedicated team of doctors and caring, loving therapists work tirelessly
and attend to us and all our complaints, and at a subtle level we feel positive
energy and healing vibrations flowing in from them and the prayers they perform
with utmost devotion, I feel privileged to be a part of this family. The
untouched beautiful nature of plants, birds and animals adds to the healing
powers of this unique place. This environment keeps us close to ourselves and
we feel fullness of life in spite of all our little ups and downs as a patient
during the treatment.

Thank you
dear Vaidyagrama family for taking care of me during my stay here. I
go back healed and on road to wellness….

My special thanks
and gratitude go to my reverent
doctors Dr. Ramadas, Dr. Harikumar and the team of all
other doctors all the kind and caring therapists specially Geethu, Kalpana
and Vaishnavi and the house keeping staff and all the support service staff.
Thank you all for wonderful experience!

I wish VAIDYAGRAMA
and Dr. Ramkumar a beautiful journey towards serving society in its
utmost honesty.

A big thank you to
all vaidyagrama. I arrived one month ago with acute pain in my body
and I leave here without it.

A special shout out
for Shyni for her dedication and professionalism for such a young
woman, she has amazing skills and was an integral part of my healing
journey.

Also, Anitha -
such a special caring and skilled therapist.

Thank you to all my
wonderful doctors and to Shanna Tarini- karma yogi for helping me to
navigate the path. She showed great friendship to a stranger.

Thank you to all
the staff, Punitha for helping me with computers, receptionists, office
staff and my lovely smiling lady who cleaned my room and brought me fresh
sheets.

Dear Vaidyagrama team

I am really
thankful for everything!

Every single person
of the vaidyagrama staff made the stay very special. Here we really
can relax and concentrate on our healing, on our global healing. And, even more
so because seeing all the projects of punarnava, it gives a lot of
new hope for a new world where values that matter find a way to exist, to
change, at least to show that something else that the modern standard is
possible.

Thank you for this
healing, profound healing session. I hope I will visit you soon, not as a
patient, but as a member of this wonderful project you are
raising.

About a technical
feedback, maybe arrange room and terrace so that we can hang
a hammock to relax swinging, brings lightness; and possibility to
have the mosquito net above the outside bed too. Therapists are wonderful but
sometimes English-speaking possibility were restricted and could be a
little bit confusing as well forhands-on treatment would be even better with familiar therapists - in
the way, we feel very different if they are too different in their way of
doing abhyangam for example.

I am grateful,
please convey my thanks for the whole staff who smile and work.

I have no words,
not in my language and not in English, to say how grateful and beautiful and
deep an experience that I had in vaidyagrama. So much love and care
received and from the centre of my heart, I would like to tell all of you thank
you so much.

Vaidyagrama was not
'love at first sight' - it was like "discomfort and difficulty" at
first sight considering that for some unknown reason, I got very sick in the
moment I arrive here. Probably a virus for the yellow fever vaccine I took days
before coming to India.

When I arrived
at Vaidyagrama I was tired, hungry and feeling very hot. It was
past midnight and I was served three pieces of papaya and hot water with herbs,
when I craved for a hot meal and cold water. The next 48 hours were difficult
with constant pain and no energy to get out of the bed. To make it worst I did
not like the food and its seasoning which is quite different to what I am used
to in my country. However, the contact with the doctors and helpers plus all
staff who work here was very positive from the beginning, even with all my difficulties
of adaptation and almost unbearable heat.

As the time passed,
I was gradually being conquered by the whole local environment. I began to
adapt myself and understand the importance of a restricted diet, different from
the one that I have been accustomed throughout life. Each action was coming
together as a puzzle and I began to improve my energy level and the acceptance
of procedures so different from the one I used to. Surely there are some
aspects that can be improved such as an improvement of the available menu or
even if flexibility of the seasoning of the dishes in a way that it
remains still correct from an Ayurveda point of you and at the same time closer
to Western standards.

But in general, I
leave with a very positive impression of the attentive and committed people
here, always concerned with the welfare of the patient. Also fascinated with
the design full of beautiful story of an extraordinary wealth of spirits. I was
conquered little by little with great affection and commitment of everyone
in Vaidyagrama. I am leaving in 2 days, only satisfied and
grateful to this extraordinary experience that will certainly contribute to my
life from here... thank you to each one of you!

Thank you for the
healing center for the good food, excellent care, air and warm kind people
of this place. After little more than a week, i learned a lot about how to care
better for myself.

The morning and
evening prayers were very illuminating.

Generally it is
very hot here in this month, so wished if it might have been a cooler and I
might have stayed longer.

Thanks to all the
staff in this hospital. Also, the oil and water treatment here was
awesome.

A week has just
passed. It was a very nice experience, the staff is very cooperative and
humble, and all doctors are very knowledgeable, supportive and very humble - I
am looking forward to come again. Surroundings are so beautiful and
serene.

A big thank you to
all for love and care you all gave to us - thank you, thank you all.

It was difficult to
initially remain without phone connection in silence, but got used to it and
felt good. Food was excellent and I got used to it.

I, being an Indian,
had some knowledge of well-known Kerala Ayurveda healing
process.

On
reaching Vaidyagrama, I was pleasantly surprised by its location
nestled with variety of trees, showing nicely built clinical facilities and
rooms for patients.

As desired most,
staff and patients were maintaining silence against background music provided
by many seen and unseen birds.

I came for Ayurveda
healing treatment, against an advice to avail allopathic treatment with known
side effects. I can’t say with certainty that the healing treatments given to
me has completely cured me, but I had a good experience and confidence that the
authentic Ayurveda treatment given to me here has helped me to understand the
changes that are essentially required to live healthy and happy life.

Food provided here
is not as spicy, as we had back home but then i realized its
essentiality.

Overall it was an
amazing and enlightening experience worth presenting for a life time.

I place on record
my sincere thanks to all the doctors, staff and co patients for making my stay
memorable.

First of all, I
thank the doctors who treated me
namely Dr.Ramanandan, Dr.Mini, Dr.Arun and
Dr Neetu and Dr Princess Lucy. These doctors had given me the
treatment and made me stand and counter any disease in future. They had treated
me with care, as I had been taking treatment at a very distant place and away
from my family. The surrounding of the hospital is so good and carefree, and
there is no fear of anything. I also felt attached to the in-house cats and
dogs, they became so friendly with me. Special mention should go
to Dr.Mini ji who took care of me like anything and came early
and leave late from duty just because of me.

With this I thank
Vaidyagrama and everybody attached and associated with it.

In future I will
advise my friends back home to come to Vaidyagrama at least once in
life and become fresh and rejuvenate themselves. I will upload all the videos
and photo on YouTube channel to reach out to many people of the world.

Thanks

To the Vaidyagrama family,

What a gift every
moment has been to be here and experience Ayurveda with such a passionate and
loving team of doctors, therapists and staff.

Each and every one
of you and the energy you put in to all you do truly creators a magical
environment. You have created a space in which patients truly learn to
self-heal through all the effects, to making our stay as nourishing as
possible. I have learnt the true meaning.

My practices of
real rest (mind +body) and intuitiveness (through learning to be a patient and
pay attention without worry or stress). Many people can speak of these things
but here you are providing an opportunity for everyone to truly tune into
ourselves (mind, spirit, soul and body...Every part of our body) and with all
that is around us (nature and other beings), you given me the gift of
understanding being present at a new level. Finding that has no doubts.
Powerful gift that has will to even change my life. You have impacted my
mind-set, how I see life myself and how I commit to being more mindful of
choices I make to honour my life and this wonderful universe and all its
blessings. My medicine here was more than just treatments, medicinal
concoctions from the earth. It was being able to action a new way of living and
connecting all that’s in my every being into what I am actually doing. This
what you choose every day is changing the world. There are no words to express
how grateful I am to all of you.

I came here
thinking my 7 days may be too short and that I would learn
about Doshas ha..ha..haaa. What I have realized is it was exactly
what I needed. I am still not exactly sure about the Doshas. BUT what I
have taken away is Ayurveda is not a universal black + white rulebook. It is a
way of life, prospecting a devotion to oneself to stay in tuned, present
connected and thus that trust, faith, nature within us around us will naturally
give us the time and answers we need. How filling, my last day is on
happy vishu festival!

There is no
coincidence as this makes the day I leave, but also start my devotion and
practice to continue to self-love and heal. Also fitting that this morning
after prayer, I found a seed on my balcony.

I feel it
symbolizes the wisdom you have planted and given to me and today makes the time
for me to continue to nourish these gifts and allow it to grow. I was asked
what my expectations were with only 7 days here on my first day – I said to
learn. Not only have I learnt, but my life has been transformed.

Thanks to the
doctors for their wisdom generosity, the therapists who are incredibly
nurturing and the housekeeping and reception staff that allow us not to worry,
and to relax in such beautiful place. I LOVE YOU!

I came here as a
bundle of nerves and body aches; joints paining, mind was clogged, and belly
upset.

Now after 20 days
my heart is filled with love from the many beautiful souls that look me in,
touched me, fed me nourishing and delicious food, calmed my mind and gave peace
to my body; Created this space where all doctors are always open and hugged
me.

The many joyous
birds that greeted the days.

This place is an
oasis for body, mind and spirit.

Filled with
gratitude, I look up to the clouds and they know the way!

Thank you
to Vaidyagrama for bringing the science of Ayurveda into my life.
This is my second time doing panchakarma here. The environment physical,
community, healing, learning, ethical, spiritual and relaxing is a model that
inspires one to live a good life.

The encouragement
to continue our healing (with medicines and information to take back home) is
so much appreciated.
